Facebook breaches Korean privacy laws, has 30 days to respond to complaints

Facebook has been accused of breaching data privacy laws in South Korea, with regulators unhappy with the way the social network is handling its users’ personal information.

The Korea Communications Commission has also criticised Facebook’s provision of personal information, as well as its privacy policy, saying it “violates the regulations on protection of privacy in information networks”.

The commission also suggested Facebook needs to do a better job of gaining consent from users when using personal data.

Mark Zuckerberg and its company will have 30 days to respond to the claims, the KCC said.
